Best Of

I didn't like it at all :neutral: The story was uninteresting, the characters (and consequently, the actors) were bad and one note. It was a downgrade visually too, until now I haven't fully appreciated how much Stuart Craig did for the HP films lol

I am surprised at the amount of people around different discussion boards who consider this Yates' best HP movie. Yates' cinematography choices were much more interesting in HBP, DH and even in The Legend of Tarzan. It's not bad, it's just... pretty standard. It might be due to him working with more talented cinematographers back then in Delbonnel and Serra.That said, Yates is still great at directing actors. Overall I enjoyed the movie. It had a lot of charm and I really cared about the characters. For me it's a solid start for this new franchise.

Some young people didn't like it much LOL and like maybe our generation appreciated it more? Since pretty much it's been so long for us to feel that type of magic and the younger gen never really had all those book releases and the early movie ones.

The problem was the post production color correcting. It's like they make films with good cinematography, and then they add grain, they lower the brightness and the colour. Deathly Hallows had a great cinematography, it was ruined with the post production. It had a bettrr lightning better on HP8 for the 3D version. But it was because the film was going to be released on 3D. The 3D version of HP7 had the same Brightness as the 2D version.

A teaser trailer is supposed to be lacking, that's why it's calles teasing (: gahhhh I'm excited for this to happen. I would never have believed it if you'd told me around the time Pottermore came out. That seemed like the finale... Anyway, it's great to see all of your too familiar screen names guys!

Prim's death in the books happened just like that, at least in the movie, Katniss and Prim managed to see each other before the parachutes blew it up. Lionsgate pulled a WB and spoiled most of the action in the trailers just like WB did with Deathly Hallows. The real emotional impact of the movie came after the war ended, it felt so real and heartbreaking. But the foreshadowing in the first 15 minutes is heartbreaking. It's a movie you need to see more at once, because the first time, you go checking what was kept or dropped from the book.
